Catalina Island is a rocky island off the coast of Southern California. One of its most recognizable landmarks is the Catalina Casino — a historic building that houses a movie theater and ballroom. The island is also known for its abundant wildlife of bison, island foxes, and garibaldi, California’s state marine fish. Catalina Island offers a variety of activities such as boating, fishing, land expeditions, and more.

This illustration highlights the island’s key attractions and landscapes. The color palette reflects the real environment of Catalina Island while enhancing it with a more vibrant, stylized manner. The long horizontal composition allows the artwork to be adapted across different products commonly found in gift shops, such as mugs and postcards.
